The Nightingale - preliminary sketches

For my thesis, I am currently working on five illustrations from Hans Christian Andersen's story The Nightingale. I'm changing the story a bit so that the main character is a modern-day boy instead of the Emperor of China, and a few other things.

I'm getting pretty close to finished with this, and I hope to post the completed illustrations on my website soon. Here is a peek at some of the preliminary drawings I made. The finished drawings will look a bit different.

I plan on doing digital color versions as well as pencil versions of the four interior illustrations above.
